Man thats rough.

Many times I think my roll is going to be bunk half way through then the 2nd half coughs up 5 or so.

I think the worst roll was 3 or 4 Coppers. Best was in the 20s a few times.

You must have a Poarder near you. (penny hoarder, I just made that up!)
Maybe Penny Sorter...Porter? hmmm sounds the same either way.

Its always a surprise to find a 2010 shield penny then in the same roll a wheat.
